Why We Predict Negative Outcomes

Man naturally tends to pursue his own will rather than God’s will, and in doing so, seeks to become his own god. This results in fear, anxiety, and the constant expectation of negative outcomes. Yet, the Scriptures reveal a path to true freedom and peace. In this message, “Why We Predict Negative Outcomes”, Pastor Jeffrey Walter explains the spiritual meaning of carrying one’s cross. He demonstrates that fear and negative thinking arise from the desire to control life according to our own desires. He teaches that true peace is found not in fulfilling personal ambitions, but in surrendering self-will and trusting in God. Pastor Jeffrey Walter therefore admonishes believers to let go of self-rule and find freedom through humility, obedience, and complete surrender to the will of God. As you listen to this message, may you come to the realization that true freedom and peace are found not in controlling outcomes, but in yielding completely to the will of God. Key Scripture: Philippians 2:5,8-9 (KJV) 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: Other Scriptures: John 16:33 (KJV)
